I think you meant to say "Streamlined butterfly"...

Nice progress, though, should look nice

If there's any spider cracking, make sure to sand the entire bumper down to the plastic or it will come back. Good luck!

just to save you some time and money make sure on the bumpers you use flexible or spectra primer.because these bumpers are very flexible and regular primer starts to crack when u flex it.i had to strip down mine twice.
and nice color choice.good luck

Sorry Have no pics of the spoiler at this time! Its from wings west though... Its for a hatch & not for a convertible i had to stretch it two inches on each side since the convertible hatch is 4 inches wider! I will post more pics through out the process & of course the finished product!

Wait i actually found another slightly different angle! & yet another one

Im working on upgrading the headlights there not done yet! I can't really afford to buy another car so i said might as well make her a little different (unique). The vision is to have full projector lights with halos I just love the look of Halo lights passing bye especially at night! So i sat down & did research had someone photo shop my idea, so now Im running with it! Hopefully my design guy can bring it to life

So that gets rid of the "eye lid" for the headlights? Any idea if that's something your "design guy" can make a few of? Would be interested in getting something like that after seeing the finished product

Yeah bro imma sell them he's making me the molds & Im working with the light company as well so that everything is cheaper for everyone if you like the style! It just sucks that there wasn't too many options to mold because of the shape & the size of the body

Yeah bro i have it! Im thinking of painting it black diamond along with the rest of the kit so it is easier to paint it unmounted & i wanted to paint the front part of the car where the lip mounts to the same color of the car! Simply because twice its fallen off on me do to other hitting things on the road onto my lane! :/
